Testimonials

Our startup and investment companies have acknowledged that we are the best partner to expand their businesses and technologies in Japan and throughout other Asian markets.

In Recruit we have found a true partner! They guided us expertly through their investment process, which was timely and transparent and today we are working together to take 99designs to Japan. What sets them apart, is their fantastic company culture, their passion for marketplaces and connecting people with new opportunities, and a universally great team led by Mr Akihiko Okamoto. The support and results we have seen from our early efforts in Japan have been exceptional and I would recommend Recruit to anyone considering expansion into Japan and beyond.
